Politics & Government - 4 October 2006

I am personally sickened by 'Shrubs" approach to foreign policy. It is unbelievably sad that his arrival as PM has marked Canada as an on going target in this "war". His callous comments about the Israel and Lebanon conflict, in my opinion, precipitated a double digit death toll of Canadian soldiers since. With world awareness reflected by the tag of "The worst president ever", I find Shrubs compulsion to jump in bed with the USA at this juncture to be one of the biggest mistakes our country has ever made. Furthermore, I do not believe his foreign policies reflect the average Canadian's beliefs one iota. The man scares me, from his gestapo approach to his own cabinet ministers(gag orders), to beefing up our military to fight a 'war' that has nothing to do with us. Come on Big Red, get it together and pick a party leader so that Canada can be saved from Bush's little shrub!

I am doing a paper for a linguistics class and would like to know your opinion on this topic. Should America claim English as its official language or maybe "American English" can become an altogether different distinct language that we can claim. Your thoughts?

When several states sued the tobacco industry, they won huge amounts of money. I thought that it was to offset the cost of healthcare for smokers that are eventually gonna get sick. This is all that I know. What ever happened to the money?

Of late, elected officials with Republican Party labels have been innovating or supporting a number of social welfare programs. Is this because of the infusion of socially moderate religious constitutencies, or are the two political parties beginning to rethink the nature of their values?

I got a parking ticket for my scooter in Manhattan. My plate cover conceals the first digit which the officer failed to notice. Should I respond or just not acknowledge it?

I know they have split the country,
I know they have alienated America from the world
I know even Republican senators are looking for a way out,

BUT,
for FOLEY to try and blame the Catholic Church and other Christians for his disgusting actions is just too much for me.

bomb on a plane, no nothing like that they responded, later told i was bought a ticket to NYC, refused it. thats one day of work. probably was july 2001 thereabouts
it was first time i heard of al-qaeda
later 9-11 happened and guess my insticts about al-q were correct. so yes i guess i am a rat but they were warned i once apply to become a winnipeg police officer and also was "so good hell itself spat Me back out" thats another true story.
but cause i wanted to write a book the trinity of crime MADE MEN, AL QAEDA, HELLS ANGELS probably won't let Me make a dime off my stories. glad i didn't take the ticket or it could have been my head slamming into a tower. and they censure alot of things in the press cause i got no love for the media either.
Good luck Todd bless.

I heard them read on Fox news last night, but I can not find them online.

They are not sexually explicit, so that may be why none of the thousands of liberal blogs out there aren't posting them.

Heres' the website to explain this truly INTERNATIONAL MOVEMENT ON OCTOBER 5 (tomorrow--THurday) to literally DRIVE THE CRIMINAL BUSH REGINE and its torture, lies and betrayals from power.

The website is: http://www.worldcantwait.net -- that is http://www.worldcantwait (dot) net -- I use (dot) and spaces because Yahoo often drops the last letters of web address for some reason.

Are you participating? Are you aware of the downtown gatherings of American citizens who HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF BUSH AND HIS GANG and who want him and the world BOTH to know that Americans DO NOT SUPPORT TORTURE, WAR CRIMES, BLIND SUPPORT OF ISRAEL AND ITS MISDEEDS, WAR ON CIVILIANS, LIES AND BETRAYALS.

Do you know that Bush is trying to merge the USA into a union with Mexico and Canada in which we have only one of three votes in the goverring tribunal and the US Constitution will become a city ordinance?

Visit the website and then state here what you are going to do on October 5 in YOUR hometown. OK?

I was born in a hospital in a town near my parents home. So I lived with my parents in one town but the actual event of my birth was in another.
When asked on official forms, job applications, etc. which birthplace is correct: the city of my parent's residence, or the city in which the hospital sits?

We are just reinventing the wheel. The country should be run like an MNC to ahieve time bound targets. The politicians have lost public confidence and now it is too late to wait for them to deliver and get out of the mess. Our electoral system should elect the best leader / contractor to run the nation. Our IAS system can produce very good project managers and the public can monitor the progress because the contract document and deliverables is available for the public

If we adopt this model, then definitely by 2020 we will be a super rich superpower.

Terrorists seem to be people that refuse to believe in any other culture or way of life based on information provided by one book and a mentor. Isn't that the similar to our own home grown conspiracy therorists (ct's) who claim the government sponsored the 911 events? Isn't a CT's evidence based on kooks and limited or fabricated information?

Of the information I've read or heard about regarding conspiracy, those hundreds of professors have to be the worse. They all say the same lame thing they same way. I wouldn't let them carry my groceries out!

If some of the super-libs got their way and everyone in America walked around with a quarter-ounce of weed in their pocket.

Or if some of the super-cons got their way and everyone in America walked around with a semi-automatic handgun on their belt.
